Mr. Speaker, the auditor general fully agrees with us that, before this debate can take place-and we are all in favour of this debate-there should at least be statistical data and figures available. He made this quite clear. Last year's figures are not ready yet. As soon as they are and as soon as we get an invitation from the committee, we will gladly go before the committee.
Having said that, I would like to mention what the auditor general asked us to do. He asked us to produce an annual financial statement, and we did. He asked us to provide the public with more information on our tax expenditures, and we did. He asked us to produce an annual economic update; we did so for our first two budgets and will do so again this time around.
